Which BP5?

Or you could buy mine, with a fresh engine rebuild, gt-b spec and some nice mods, new 19inch mags and tyres, and slightly lowered too. Drives mint and looks nice too.

If only it was manual.

Unpopular opinion Marky says a 6 cyl legacy is as much a performance car as a camry or diamante is

Unless it is a force-fed 6 cyl one then thats ok

Best advice is shop around heeeeaps, have seen very similar manual turbo sedans going from 9k right up to 15k with near identical kms and age

manual, tiptronic, doesn\'t really matter when its a gtb family wagon, end of the day if your buying a family wagon you want it to be practical with the performance, so if your buying a family wagon for just performance then you may as well buy a STI, not a gtb.

Technically he is right, a Maxima/Camry is faster in a straight line

That\'s pretty nice. Not keen on anything lowered though with Christchurch "roads" being the state they are. Half thinking about an Outback just to get a little more comfort.

Matters to me and the missus its kind of like saying you dont need to have your choice in colour its only a family wagon. Shouldnt have to sacrifice having a manual box to have a family car unless its euro imo. As for performance - I have a family wagon that performs that isnt an sti.

[snowboard48]

and i have a performance car that isn\'t STI also, but if you want a wagon for cruising then who cares if its manual or auto, as its just for cruising, ive owned many performance cars, and yes if i am purely looking for performance and using on track etc id go manual every time.

But if i want something for open road driving and going to the beach etc with good performance id go auto/tiptronic everytime.

But each to there own, you enjoy your MANUAL performance family wagon and ill enjoy mine. haha

[Guest]

It wasnt a personal attack on your preference it was more of a bugger its manual as I seriously like the look of it and could definitely see myself owning it if it was manual and missus said the exact same thing. Regardless of my opinion its noice and a good deal not arguing. Geddit now?

[snowboard48]

Yeah all good, like i said each to there own.

Ive already got plenty of interest in it, and only had it listed for a week so it will be sold regardless.

I use to be like you and would only ever drive manuals, And like yourself would always be like.... ohhh dam its a auto, but then when i got my first auto subaru wagon back in the day and used it as my daily i liked them more than manuals for day to day driving as i could just relax and drive to work etc, i mean have you tried eating a pie in a manual? much easier in a auto! haha

But all good, thanks for your comment.

[GorGasmSpecB]

To throw another log on the fire:

I would prefer manual for everything except city stop start traffic.

Cruising, open road driving, fanging around I prefer manual.

I lol\'ed

[gotasuby]

I have had 2 bpe wagons, first was auto and I sold it to get a manual as I can\'t stand autos, bet thing I ever did. That\'s my opinion.
